"Someone out there who knows who killed my husband will realize it’s the right thing to do to come forward and provide information about his killer," Reid said.

She says the $10,000 from Welch, a man she and her late husband had never met, might be the push someone needs.

"For Mr. Welch to offer a reward on his own is unprecedented and I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart," said Reid.

And she hopes someone comes forward sooner rather than later.

"As long as this killer is out there roaming around, other people are going to die."
